The left end of a massless stick with length $l$ is placed on the corner of a table,as shown in the figure. $A$ point mass $m$ is attached to the center of the stick,which is initially held horizontal. It is then released. Immediately afterward,what normal force does the table exert on the stick?

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $mg/6$
  • C
    $mg/2$
  • D
    $mg$

Two small balls are fixed at the ends of a light rigid rod of length $L = 0.4 \ m$. The system is released from a height $h = 5 \ m$ with the rod horizontal. The balls collide with the horizontal surface and rebound. The coefficient of restitution between ball $A$ and the ground is $e_A = 0.6$ and that between ball $B$ and the ground is $e_B = 0.4$. Find the angular speed (in $rad/s$) of the rod just after the collision. Take the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$.

The moment of inertia of a solid flywheel about its axis is $0.1\,kg\cdot m^2$. $A$ tangential force of $2\,kg\cdot wt$ is applied around the circumference of the flywheel with the help of a string and mass arrangement as shown in the figure. If the radius of the wheel is $0.1\,m$,find the angular acceleration of the solid flywheel (in $rad/s^2$). (Take $g = 9.8\,m/s^2$)
